Redemption by Julie Morgan

Lisa's choice has been
made. She's living her dream and couldn't be happier. Then as news comes
to shed light on her happily ever after, a series of events are set in
motion. Some want to claim what is rightfully theirs, others want to
mold it in a positive light.

Alex feels the demon inside of him
growing stronger, day by day. Will he be strong enough to keep it at
bay, or will he lose himself to the darkness? A new demon comes into
Alex and Lisa's life who seems to have every intention of destroying
them, but do they know what their intentions truly are?

Lisa
will discover who is an ally and who is the enemy, but will she discover
it in time to save Alex from his own self destruction? When she finally
understands what's happening to her, will she lose herself and everyone
she loves or will she seek redemption and accept what she has become?

What a wild, fun ride Redemption takes us on. We start were Fallen left off with Lisa finding out the she is Expecting. So you know that if the father is a half demon/angel things aren’t going to fallow the normal plan of thing, making it so much more fun.
I love the way Julie Morgan can descript something so vividly that you feel it could be happen right in front of you. I fell in love with each character even more then I was with reading Fallen. Lisa is a string female heroine that isn’t to water down or fake. She is well written, making you root for her. Alex, Lisa’s lover is one of my favorite male characters, I love that is a hybrid but we focus more on his good side, but his still has some devilish parts that make him kind of sexier.
With Angels and Demons battling giving you so many twists and turns, Redemption is fast paced, keeping on the edge of you seat. If you want to get you out of a book slump this one sure will.

"Suddenly everything
comes to a stop. She looks around their surroundings and her eyes try
to focus, finding nothing but blackness. A soft light appears in front
of her. It begins to grow and pushes outward, claiming the darkness
surrounding it. It continues to widen until light from the field begins
to pour inside, illuminating Lisa and her surroundings. Her eyes peer
through the portal and it's as if she were looking through water. The
image is distorted and continues to move like a constant wake in still
waters. She sees Gorgon to her right and she looks over, watching the
demon next to her. Lisa's eyes trail down the demon's body then slowly,
back up. You fuck this up, I will kill you.

Gorgon raises her
brows, turning her body towards Lisa. She says, I'd like to see you try.
She crosses her arms over her chest and glances back towards the portal
doorway. But before you go down that route, we need to set a plan for
how we'll do this. I can give you an idea of what we'll be facing, but
honestly, I have no idea. I don't know the numbers of what you'll be up
against. She lowers her gaze; then looks up slowly to Lisa. For what
it's worth, I am sorry. And your son.

Lisa cuts her off. What I'll
be up against? No, I don't think so. You are part of this too. And don't
pretend to know anything about my son.

Gorgon simply nods and
looks back out the portal. You're right. I am part of this. And all I
was going to say is he's amazing. She lets it go. She furrows brows,
steps forward, and looks through the distorted water. Demons and angels
chase one another, fighting, swords clash and power is sent across the
field. Bright colors of the many auras light up on the field like
lightning strikes. Gorgon tries to focus on one of the images that is
taking on an attack stance. Lisa?

Yeah, I see it. Lisa steps
forward. The image is still muddled by the waves but she can make out
Alex. He stalks forward in a stance of attack. Lisa looks at who he's
pursuing and she gasps when she realizes it's Michael. Quickly, she
looks back at Alex sees another man at his side. Her eyes widen in
shock. What the Hell? Is that Samuel? Michael continues his backtracking
and waves something long and shiny over his head. She begins to step
out and Gorgon grabs her arm, stopping her.

Samuel is very strong. If he's already taken Alex's light
He
has. Lisa looks at the demon. I know you knew he'd do this. I know you
were his accomplice. And I also know you grew a conscience around us and
turned yourself in.

What? Gorgon blinks; taken aback. How
What She bites back the words she wants to say, she helped orchestrate
this, she killed off the demon Xander, she killed off Mariah when her
human was annoying her. Instead, she keeps her thoughts to herself.

You know exactly how I know. She looks at the demon and raises a single brow, daring her to object.
Alright.
is all Gorgon says, then she looks back out at the field. Then let me
go first. I can be a diversion, for you to get to Alex and get out of
here.

No. Lisa pulls her arm free from Gorgon. Let me. They'll
never see me coming. She turns back to Gorgon. I still hate what you
are, but what you did? Obviously I forgive you. As for you willingly
volunteering to protect my son thank you.

Gorgon blinks at her,
not sure what to say. Instead, she nods slightly, then they both look
towards the field. I promise I'll have your back. No matter what. Lisa
keeps her eyes on the fighting in the field and nods.

You better,
she tells the demon. Michael stumbles over a tree root and falls back
on his ass. The two demons sneer down at him and Alex is about to lunge.
Lisa and Gorgon step forward and as Lisa is about to step through to
make herself known, Samuel sneers and holds an orb of golden light in
front of him. She pauses long enough to realize this is Alex's soul. Her
eyes widen as he brings up his free hand, holding a dagger. She shifts
her gaze and watches Alex prepare to jump on Michael. Moving on
instinct, she barrels out of the portal. Lisa pushes her hands out in
front of her and a bright, purple light explodes from her as she
screams, NO!!!!"

Be sure to check out book 1 of the series before reading Redemption!

Fallen - Book One in the Chronicles of the Fallen

Lisa Adams wants what
every other woman wants: The perfect job. The perfect home. The perfect
guy. When she receives the opportunity of a lifetime, Lisa has no idea
what she’s actually signed up for. Her boss, who is tall, dark and
incredibly sexy, starts making advances towards her and she’s having a
hard time telling him no. Lisa begins seeing things that are scaring the
Hell out of her. Nightmares are leaving her frightened.

Then
there’s this new guy that’s come into her life. He brings a new light
into the darkness that threatens to claim Lisa. He’s mysterious,
heartwarming and kind. Not to mention the most beautiful man she’s ever
met. But something with him seems to be off.

Faced with love,
seduction, sacrifice and deceit, Lisa will find herself being pulled in
two directions; one pursues her to claim her soul and the other will
sacrifice everything to save her.

Hailing from Burleson, Texas
and growing up in the country with big tractors and bon fire parties, I
would day dream about far off lands, hoping to one day get inside their
worlds.

Always having a love of books and paranormal stories, I
finally took the leap to begin writing with encouragement from my
husband. Having worked in IT my entire career and finding my way to
Central Florida, I spend free time writing new stories, putting together
puzzles with my daughter or reading her children's stories.

About Me

In order to do something great you will be misunderstood to
many, that’s where I am in life. Doing great things that others don’t understand,
I am doing what I love and makes me happy.

I am Jessica or Jessie for short, I am a fearless, and soft
spoken and outgoing Scorpio who tells the truth even if my voice shakes. I have a
blog that is all about my love for reading and books. I read more than my librarian
and she finds that amazing. I am a writer because I have this need to get the
stories out of my head for others to enjoy. I see myself as a chef, but really am
just a home cook, trying out really hard recipes, failing most of the time, but
it’s all about that one time it turns out amazing. My friends see me as supportive, loyal and
selfless, but they have to say things like that. I see myself as hopeful,
caring and compassionate. You will never see me without a book in my hand or
somewhere close by, you never know when you will have a few minutes to read; I take
every moment I can. I would like to say I
am a lover not a fighter, but that would be a lie. I will fight for what I feel
is important or someone I love, which makes me a little of both.

“You have the freedom to be yourself, you true self, here
and now, and nothing can stand in your way” – Richard Bach

That’s I what I try to do all the time, be my true self. The
nerdy, strong, misunderstood girl that I am.
